Chapter 184: Lord Chen's troubles
After a loud gong, the person who presided over the selection competition stepped onto the stage and said with a homemade megaphone: "Tourists, sons and girls, the selection of the most beautiful village girl in the first food festival of our Shishan County is about to start now." β
The originally lively and noisy sound below suddenly quieted down, and both those who were sitting and standing raised their eyes and looked at the stage intently.
"Next, we have invited Miss Li Xiaojing from Taohua Village, Shishan County to perform on stage......"
Li Xiaojing's performance is dancing, these shows are all rehearsed by Hua Manxi inviting the best Qinglou head brand in Shishan County and mixing modern elements, not all of them are original.
There is also the next piano playing, etc., all of which have been rehearsed in order to stabilize the word.
With the blessing of the performance, the surrounding business is so good that it is booming, especially egg waffles, squid skewers, barbecue, milk tea, stinky tofu, and wolf tooth potatoes, which are in short supply.
Those tourists have not seen this kind of selection competition according to the vote, and they are very involved, and they all end the game after seeing the end of the game.
"Li Jing's performance is good, and the next promotion will arrange a better program for her, and these girls can also endorse the food festival after they are selected." After watching the whole performance, Hua Manxi was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and said to a boss in charge of entertainment next to him.
"Good, good, good! Whatever Chef Hua says, it's what it is! The shop I invested in, the tea house, today can be said to have earned more than the previous year's account in one day! Chef Hua, I'll send you your share soon. The boss smiled toothlessly.
"Naturally, this is natural, I have made a lot of money from the racecourse, hunting games, and sea experience, and Chef Hua's share was quickly delivered!" The other boss also answered.
"Yes, my inns are full, especially those high-end inns with bathrooms proposed by Chef Hua, which are in short supply, I already knew to make a few more of these, which make much more money than ordinary inns, and the people who come to play are rich people, why didn't I listen to Chef Hua's advice at that time!"
"Chef Hua is simply my God of Wealth in Shishan County, not to mention anything else, Chef Hua will marry in the future, and this dowry is my old king's share!"
"I'm going to give a copy too!"
"Haha, everyone is out, my Lao Wang is naturally going to give the biggest share!" Master Wang laughed and said, "Chef Hua is not only the God of Wealth for me, but also a big lucky star, my little girl, I have learned a lot of things from her, and now I can take care of the shop independently." β
"Master Wang, you are really blessed, Miss Wang has taken down a whole street, today is probably crazy to make money, there are nine days left in this food festival, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of money."
"That's, that's, it's all her own idea, I've always been hers." Master Wang smiled happily again, and his eyes narrowed with laughter.
"By the way, Chef Hua, this food festival is only held twice a year, so what are we going to do with the rest of the time? Although according to this money-making momentum, these two food festivals can make a lot of money, but other times, you can't always wait, right? Boss Wang asked.
"Don't worry, I have discussed this matter with Lord Chen, this time the food festival started the name of our Shishan County, our follow-up direction, to transform into a tourist scenic spot, here near the sea, can greatly develop this seascape, attract tourists to come to play all year round, as long as there are tourists, popular, the business of these shops will continue to do energy, of course, there is a kind of talent output, trained these people, you can go to other places to open branches, Shishan County's food to all parts of the country." Flower full stream returns.
"Chef Hua is really eloquent and has novel ideas, if it is a man, it is not too much to pay homage to the marquis." When the plan for this food town was first proposed, most of these people were opposed, and they were all suppressed by the power of Chen Xiuli's officials, and now that they have made money, they all have opened their eyes and started to talk nonsense.
People are warm and cold, the world is cold, everything is linked to interests, Hua Manxi has already seen too much, and he is not so hearty, and said with a faint smile: "Your uncles are too famous, but it is just some whims, you can make money, thanks to Lord Chen." β
"That's right, thanks to Lord Chen, Lord Chen is really a good official, always thinking about the well-being of our merchants, now our shops are profitable, the income has gone up, and the people in Shishan County have jobs, everyone is good, everyone is goodββ"
"Wherever and wherever this is, this is what the official should do, and everything should be done." Chen Xiuli lightly bowed his hand and responded.
After some business blowing, the stage was almost scattered, Hua Manxi and Chen Xiuli were already tired and paralyzed, and after sending away those treacherous and cunning old men, Hua Manxi breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I can finally go back and sleep well, I'm so tired." β
However, before she could finish speaking, a surprise and a proud voice sounded behind her: "Big brother, is it you?" β
Hua Manxi and Chen Xiuli both raised their heads at the sound, and saw a girl wearing a pale green coat and a fine brocade sprinkled skirt lined with pink and yellow, and her eyes were fixed on Chen Xiuli's face.
Chen Xiuli's eyes flashed with disgust very quickly, but he quickly pressed down, a handsome face smiled lightly but calmly, and walked to the girl detachedly and politely, and said, "Big sister." β
"It's you! When I was watching the play offstage just now, it looked very similar from a distance, it's been three years, big brother, can you still recognize me? Chen Xiuya was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "I was still thinking just now that I would treat fewer people after watching the play, so I went to the county office to find you, but I didn't want to meet here, this girl is your cousin Miss Wang, right?" β
"She's not, she's my best friend." Chen Xiuli stopped in front of Hua Manxi without a trace, and his voice was a little tighter than before, "It's so far away, why did a girl of yours come from Kyoto?" β
"Haha, I'm not alone, and Sister Lan, by the way, big brother, this is Shen Miaolan, the daughter of my third aunt's family, you saw it when you were a child." Chen Xiuya dragged up a woman wearing pink back brocade behind her and said, "You took her with you when you were a child, remember?" This time we came to you, and my mother said that you should settle us. β
It turned out to be his sister, Hua Manxi felt that this conversation sounded quite normal, but Chen Xiuli's face was getting darker and darker, and his intuition was not good, so he planned to leave first.
"Brother Chenβ" She was just about to leave, but the girl named Shen Miaolan also spoke at the same time.
As soon as Hua Manxi raised her eyes, that Shen Miaolan glanced at her coldly.
Hua Manxi: "......" who is she recruiting to provoke someone.
Chen Xiuli's family seems to be a wealthy family, and there have always been many such people, so she should not get involved.
"That Lord Chen, I, I'll go back first, what's the matter, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Hua Manxi hurriedly said hello to Chen Xiuli and slipped away.
Chen Xiuli didn't want to tear up these trivial troubles in his home in front of her, nodded and asked her to go back first.
"Big brother, what are you looking at, could it be that this is your confidante here?" Chen Xiuya saw that Chen Xiuli's eyes had been following Hua Manxi, and hurriedly said loudly, "I came all the way here, I'm already tired and paralyzed, the hotels and inns here are all full, you can quickly find me a place to stay." β
"I live in the county government on weekdays, but they are all men, it is inconvenient for you to live, let's live in Wangfu first." Chen Xiuli said lightly in his voice.
"Okay, can you get a carriage first, I'm going to break my leg." Chen Xiuya said again.
"During the food festival, you can't take a carriage in the center of the county, you can only take a bridge, but I don't have a bridge, so it's better to work hard for my eldest sister to take a walk." Chen Xiuli said expressionlessly.
"You're a county magistrate, why don't you even have a bridge!" Chen Xiuya wailed, came up squeamishly, and stomped her feet.
"Then you're still the daughter of Shangshu, why don't you come from Kyoto with a top bridge?" Chen Xiuli didn't give her any face, and said coldly.
"Chen Xiuli! You! What did you say! Chen Xiuya was immediately angry, and her voice was raised.
"Okay, Xiuya, Brother Chen is honest and fair, and now he has found another way to seek the well-being of Shishan County, and now in Kyoto, many adults praise Brother Chen for being young and promising, and he is a blockbuster, and even my uncle is not a lot of light? Xiuya, as a sister, should be happy for Brother Chen. Shen Miaolan appropriately grabbed Chen Xiuya and persuaded him softly.
"Miss Shen understands righteousness." Chen Xiuli still looked indifferent, and he didn't look at Shen Miaolan from beginning to end.
"Then I'll listen to Sister Lan, it's me who is wrong, let's go." Chen Xiuya reluctantly spoke.
Chen Xiuli led the way and went to Wang's mansion.
"By the way, big brother, I heard that your relative is the richest man in Shishan County, so it shouldn't be too shabby in the house, right? If it's too shabby, I can't get used to it. As she walked, Chen Xiuya began to be picky again, "Incense needs the best small leaf red sandalwood with magnolia cakes, otherwise I can't sleep, these weather still have to burn floor heating, and the quilt also needs the best Jiangnan brocade cotton, I can't get used to the heavy quilt, and there is food, but also finer, I walked around today, what kind of food do you have here, most of them are greasy, how can this be done?" β
Chen Xiuli was so annoyed that he kept pursing his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
"By the way, eldest brother, my mother told me that Sister Lan is one of the best girls in Beijing, and I want you to take care of Sister Lan, otherwise she won't be able to spare you." Chen Xiuya suddenly interjected again.
Sure enough, his guess was good, Chen Xiuli became more and more impatient in his heart, thinking that the court heard about his political achievements, knew that he was expected to move back, and thought of a new way to control himself.
